Member Spotlight: Google Fueling Economic Recovery

Google this week announced bold plans to help accelerate economic recovery by investing over $7 billion in offices and data centers across the U.S. and creating at least 10,000 new full-time Google jobs in the U.S. this year. This includes investing in communities that are new to Google and expanding in others across 19 states. In a message announcing the investment, CEO Sundar Pinchai said the investment stems from his belief that “a lasting economic recovery will come from local communities, and the people and small businesses that give them life.”

In California, Google will continue to invest in its offices in the state and support affordable housing initiatives in the Bay Area as part of its $1 billion housing commitment. Google projects that its $250 million investment fund will help create 24,000 housing units by 2029. Learn more about Google’s audacious plans>>
